New Dacia SUV spied without any Camouflage

At these spy photos you can see the new Dacia SUV that completely uncovered it seems to be production-ready. Early report suggested that the vehicle would not only use many of the same components but would also take on notable similarity to the new Nissan Qashqai. That banged appears to have been fairly accurate.

Some rumor out of Romania claimed the Dacia SUV would be based on a X-Trail platform, have the group 1.5dCi engine making 105hp (77kW) and 240Nm, and be while the Dacia Duster Concept. That story was accompanied with highly suspicious pictures of a believed production type Duster.

Dacia unveiled the Duster thought car at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March. It was a radical three-door car with a raised push height, high-mounted section mirrors and wraparound rear light. Sadly this uncovered develop bears no significant outside resemblance to the 4.25m long Duster. Dimension-wise as well it looks about the mass of a five-seater Qashqai.

All-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata Spied During Photo Shoot

The all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata has been spied exposed during photo shoot without any camouflage by the Hyundai Blog’s reader. We have already seen the next Sonata‘s four-door auto-like profile and silky roofline in previous spy pics but these new shots offer an undisguised regard of the vehicle’s front and rear styling as well as of the interior.

The new Sonata is a far more adventurous and interesting request than the overly-conservative and stylistically boring develop it will trade. The next-generation Sonata that is said to be renamed to i40 in Europe, will most liable go on sale in Europe and America sometime during the first half of 2010.

We also have some information about whats will be under the hood of the Sonata Hybrid, a product that bodes well for Hyundai’s eco-cred. Probably the hybrid Sonata will be powered by some variation on the Hybrid Blue Drive Architecture Hyundai introduced last year. That means either the 2.4 liter Theta II engine or a 2.0 liter Theta Turbo GDI married to a 30kW electric motor that provides an additional 205 Nm of torque. Either of those combos will come with a six-speed transmission.

New Aston Martin Rapide Production Version caught Uncovered

The all-new Aston Martin Rapide sports car has spied completely uncovered sitting in a parking lot. The car is scheduled to be introduced at the September’s Frankfurt Motor Show, these photos show a car that will be stiff competition with rival Porsche Panamera, that cost from $89,000 to $132,600.

The new Rapide will come with a 6.0-liter V12 generating 470 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque matching with a responsive Touchtronic gearbox. Performance records have not been released, but we assume the Rapide to situation records that are between the two Porsche Panamera V8 models, a 3.6 liter six cylinder generating 300 hp, a 400 horsepower 4.8 liter V8 engine, and a 500 hp turbocharged V8. Those cars go 0-60 mph in either 4 seconds or 4.8 seconds, depending on which engine is special.

Photographer Simon Gregg told CAR Online: “This new addition from Aston Martin is most certainly going beat the Porsche Panamera in the style stakes! It has the same aggresive look of the Vanquish from the rear and even offers the appearance of being a two-door car, rather than a four-door when viewed from certain angles.”

Unfortunately, Gregg was not able to get movies of the interior. He did say that vehicle has four individual seats, thanks to the pinpoint console which splits the entire cubicle down the heart. “The facia and interior door panels impart the styling found in the flow DBS and V8 extend. Rear access is via a Vantage-chic rear formulate, which will make loading up very painless,” he said.

The Rapide that will be built by Magna Steyr in Graz, will begin arriving at Aston Martin showrooms around the world in early 2010. As for prices don’t expect anything lower than $200k.
